A Long Long Time Ago Lyrics

A Long Long Time Ago lyrics

Yesterday arrived too quickly

Caught me right off guard

My defence
moved in too slowly

Missed it by a yard

Id just settled down

With a bottle of gin

So I moved on to whiskey

And it hit me
again

Memories were raining punches

Down on my head

Knocked
me into the past so quickly

They almost raised the dead

So I drank
some more booze

And it helped me to sleep

Where I dreamed of my
youth

And the secrets I keep



Oh history is a friend of
mine

She comes over to my place

And we have a good time

But
the memories

She sometimes brings with her

Get out of line

Theyre out of line



Show me things I dont want to see

(wanna see, wanna see, wanne see)

Remind me of who I thought I was
gonna be

(ganna be, gonna be, gonna be)

Take me places I used to
go

(used to go, used to go)

A long long time ago



When
I woke I remembered nothing

Suppose thats just as well

And although
my head was aching

I could hear a bell

So I put on some clothes

And I reached my front door

When I pulled it wide open

She
joined me once more



Oh history is a friend of mine

She comes
over to my place

And we have a good time

But the memories

She
sometimes brings with her

Get out of line

Theyre out of line



Show me things I dont want to see

(wanna see, wanna see, wanna
see)

Remind me of who I thought I was gonna be

(ganna be, gonna be,
gonna be)

Take me places I used to go

(used to go, used to go)

A long long time ago

A long long time ago
